NAUGATUCK -- The Department of Public Works reminds residents the borough is not responsible for damage to mailboxes if they are located within six inches of the edge of the road.

The department will repair or replace mailboxes and posts that have been hit by a borough truck or plow, as long as they were adequately set back from the road, according to Director James Stewart. Upon request, the department will review damage and possibly perform repairs, Stewart said.
